Dave, you watch Alias, right?

As I arrived in Florida, my parents told me I had appeared on "this show we watch called Alias." Suprisingly, I have never tuned in to this show, but I hear it is quite good. Just no time with 2 kids.

But my parents said there was a corpse named...Louren Reed (probably Lauren, but whatever) that was the dead wife of somebody. Is this true? And if so, wierd.

There have been many doppelgangers of other people I know, on television. But never me. The closest I have ever known for myself was when I realized that if you shortened my name to Lou, that I have the same name as a famous singer. I even convinced some (stupid) people in high school that he was my uncle, and I was named after him. Hey baby, take a walk on the wild side.

Car trip was largely uneventful, which is really what you want when drving 630+ miles with two small children. It hit me how long the trip would be when I drove past the exit to where my parents lived twice (two old houses), and after the second one, realized just how much further I had to go.

But as a bonus, since they now live in "prime spring break" territory, I got whistled at last night by some college guys in a jeep while I was unloading the RAV. I can forgive them since it was dark already. Crazy rednecks.
